    This is how I've made these all my life, sometimes I cook the potatoes less time so that they are cooked almost all through for lumpy mashed potatoes. - 11/14/09

    While these mashed potatoes are delicious, the butter adds extra fat and calories that are not needed. Try switching the butter to something like I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. - 10/13/10
